Parsing Html Files As Php

Is this the correct way to parse html files as php? RemoveHandler .html .htm AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html Saved in a .htaccess file in my root folder? I am addi

Solution 1:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.htm $1\.php

Solution 2:

Yes, if your webserver is running php as Apache module.

If your webserver is running PHP as CGI, use this instead:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html .htm 

Or, you could use this simple rewrite rule:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html $1\.php

In my case, I wanted to parse HTML files as PHP so I added the code you mentioned on my .htaccess which is:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

It worked on my localhost as intended since I'm using WAMP but on my server, which is hosted in Drupion this does not work. My HTML files became downloadable.

The answer here gave me an idea on how to fix the problem.

Basically, you need to know the "handler-name" your server is using to parse PHP. Then you can add similar code on your .htaccess.

AddHandler fcgid-script .html
FCGIWrapper /home/example/fcgi-bin/php5.fcgi .html
